#16 Wiki

I am aware of wikipedia but now I understand the concept ofwikis, an online tool that allows collaborative effort and anyone can contribute. The uses for a library are limitless. Searching some of the other library wikis showed this. Feedback from borrowers on the library subject guides, adding their reviews, and other titles they like is a fantastic idea. I also like the idea of a website that creates a community hub where everyone can add their own community's activities and the idea that the final content should reflect the consensus within the community. A wiki for one stop community information.

I particularly liked some of the online tutorials that libraries have set up on their wiki. Try mouserobics from the St Joseph County Public library wiki
